Tampa is one of my favorite ports to sail from. The Riverwalk is beautiful at night. I have never felt unsafe, but always be cautious.

Thanks for putting our minds at ease

If you are looking for dinner the night before, Berns Steakhouse is my favorite restaurant. They are pricey, but that is my all time favorite restaurant. We have taken trips to Tampa just to go to dinner.

I live in Tampa. Yes, you'll be perfectly safe walking around.

As others have stated, it's a safe area. My GF and I spent the weekend in Tampa before a cruise, near the port at the Embassy Suites, and really enjoyed it. Riverside is a great area, and is beautiful at night for a walk along the water.

 

My GF went running both mornings, along the water. Never felt unsafe.

Tampa is a 'big city' and has its problems

 

it is safe to ride the trolley to YBOR city ... but don't try to WALK back . . . or two blocks outside of the 'entertainment' area

 

Famous Columbia rest' is in YBOR

 

Berns is not ....

 

enjoy US decadence and have steak at Berns . . .

Don't believe everything you see on TV....from a Detroiter :p We aren't all criminals.

you are coming from afar so I'm going to expand

 

BERNS

 

not just a steakhouse ... this can be a full evening of entertainment

 

Besides the wonderful food (order one steak for two ... if the two want theirs cooked different, BERNS does that without cutting the steak ... well up to a point anyway)

 

Just ask and you can tour the kitchen

 

Just ask and you can tour the wine cellar ... a TRUE wine cellar and BERNS has possibly the LARGEST wine collection of any rest'rnt ANYWHERE. Much of their wine collection is held off site.

 

Make a reservation not only for dinner but also for the separate dessert room . . .

 

If you enjoy BERNS to the fullest, it is a 3 to 4 hour experience.
